š SL Legal Talent Goes Global: Teams Squared Connects SL Lawyers to US$ 35 Bn Market
Teams Squared, an Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP) with Sri Lankan operations, is redefining the career path for the country's legal talent by connecting them to international law firms and corporate teams. ⢠The startup, founded in 2023, has rapidly scaled, securing 40+ global clients and building a 90+ member remote workforce spanning Sri Lanka, India, the Philippines, and other emerging markets. ⢠This initiative directly addresses the challenge faced by over 1,200 law graduates who qualify annually in Sri Lanka but lack sustainable local or international opportunities. ⢠The firm channels the momentum of the US$ 35 Bn global legal outsourcing market into Sri Lanka, often an overlooked source of expertise in Asia, applying a model similar to ICT/BPM service exports. ⢠Sri Lankan lawyers are now embedded within international teams, providing high-value services (including litigation support, commercial, and IP law) to clients in major jurisdictions like the US, UK, and Australia. ⢠The company recently expanded its global commitment with a new office in Melbourne.
